It is the goal of Donna I.S.D. to provide each student with the best education possible. We recognize that parents play an extremely important role in their children’s educational success. It takes a partnership between the school and the home working together to help a child succeed in achieving his or her goals. This partnership enables Donna I.S.D. to foster and support active parent engagement so that schools and parents unite and collaborate as partners in education. Through this collaboration, we fulfill the Parental engagement requirements of the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 and section 1118 of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965.

ESSA Title I Policy outlines that all Title I programs must provide “opportunities and training for parents to become partners with the school in promoting the education of the child at school and at home; and provide information about methods parents can use at home to complement the child’s instruction.” This communication is an extremely important component of the educational process and should be an on-going, sustained practice. Studies have shown that a positive impact on student success occurs when parents are actively involved and engaged in their child’s education.

In support of ESSA Policy and continuous parent engagement in schools, the Parent and Family Engagement Program at Donna ISD is committed to provide opportunities for parents to become partners in education. We invite all parents to join our team and support our efforts to educate and ensure the success of all children in our Donna Community.

Get Involved! It Matters! Support your Parent and Family Engagement Centers at your child's campus. Join in for informative sessions as well as hands-on activities. Being involved in your child's education helps them do well in school.
